Call it larceny. Chris Bell sat on the board until the Round 2 slot, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Dunker reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
